performed at Target Center

In September 2008, Rage performed at the Target Center in Minneapolis during the Republican National Convention . The previous day, they attempted to play a surprise set at a free anti-RNC concert at the Minnesota Capitol in St. Paul , but were prevented by the police. Instead, De la Rocha and Morello rapped and sang through a megaphone. Later that evening, Morello and Boots Reilly joined the songwriter Billy Bragg and the politician Jim Walsh for a three-hour jam session at Pepitos Parkway theater in south Minneapolis.
